You’re going to pour concrete 4-1/2

with the dimensions shown below.
First, calculate the total area (by divid-
ing the drawing into three individual
rectangles) and then determine the total
yards of concrete required for this job.
What is the total cost of the concrete if
it is selling for $55 per cubic yard?
